IF you added heat to the product side which way would it go or if you took out heat which way would it go. Basically it's confusing to me the factor of heat and it's impact on an equilibrium expression.

You will have to identify which way the reaction gives out heat (the "exothermic direction") and which way takes in heat (the "endothermic direction").

Then, if you raise the temperature, the equilibrium will move toward the endothermic side. Most equilibria are exothermic, so raising the temperature will make less product (but make it more quickly!).

well wat i think is
the reaction will proceed in the forward direction.
because when heat is added to the reactant side of a chemically stable reaction, the rate of reaction will increase and as a result product will be formed more quickly.
